Nguyên Lê enlightens the Floyd’s repertoire – pure happiness – and enchants it with the collusion of the NDR Bigband and its brilliant soloists, deploying new sound-textures created by the uplifting orchestrations of Michael Gibbs.

"The Key", the debut album of the Mauritian pianist Jerry Léonide is the key to a whole world; to the music and joie de vivre of an island paradise in the Indian Ocean.
